As the way of the goose, or some sort of idiomatic phrase attempting to explain current times, PGs are the most prevalent position early in rankings. Having the ball in your hands in today’s NBA is good enough to be fantasy worthy. Just ask Michael-Carter Williams. With 10 guys PG eligible in my top-20, I’m heavy on the PG like Chunk on Baby Ruth. Remember, these positions are broken down on Yahoo position eligibility (view all top 200 here), so there won’t be direct positional crossover to other fantasy sites:

POS RANK

OVERALL RANK

PLAYER, POS, TEAM

NOTE

1

4

Chris Paul, PG, LAC

Game’s best PG, will be leaned on to do everything for Doc.

2

5

Stephen Curry, PG/SG, GS

A little worried about career ankle issues, no Jarrett Jack.

3

7

Kyrie Irving, PG, CLE

The additional bigs should give Kyrie all sorts of room to drive and dish.

4

8

John Wall, PG, WAS

Love Wall, was a first-round talent in last two months of 12-13, healthy offseason.

5

11

Derrick Rose, PG, CHI

I buy the perimeter game offseason work, excited for a really big season.

6

13

Deron Williams, PG, BKN

I buy the perimeter game offseason work, excited for a really big season/big Asts.

7

14

Ricky Rubio, PG, MIN

Another point I buy the improved perimeter game, fully recovered from ACL.

8

16

Dwayne Wade, PG/SG, MIA

Career-high FG% in 12-13, another solid year ahead.

9

18

Damian Lillard, PG, POR

Buying offseason improvements, FG% to go up, big season.

10

24

Ty Lawson, PG, DEN

No Gallinari, no Iguodala, will have to do it all.

11

29

Tony Parker, PG, SA

Fire to win the title, elite when healthy.

12

30

Jeff Teague, PG, ATL

Will be on all my teams, Millsap will help efficiency, one of my big breakouts.

13

32

Mike Conley, PG, MEM

Boosted scoring, assists, fewer TOs when Gay left.

14

33

↓ Russell Westbrook, PG, OKC

Injury changes everything, don’t like knee injury for guy that relies on explosiveness.

15

39

Brandon Jennings, PG, DET

Could be elite, could go 2-17 some nights. Another high risk/reward talent in DET.

@Rob: I’m moving him way down. Having a second surgery to try and fix sweeling for a guy that depends on explosiveness is no bueno. Also moving Durant to #1 overall as I was against the grain on that one, but not any more. Going to try and get updated rankings to reflect that by the end of the week.

@omer: Don’t quite follow what you said first past the injury label, which is definitely a factor to consider. Yes he isn’t Paul or Curry but he’s the next best thing past those guys. Can’t argue with you too much on Conley but I think I have him higher than most. Obviously glad to hear others like the Teague call, my ranking will have him on virtually all my teams. Thanks for reading!

@omer: Ah gotcha, well I think he will given the health, with the additional talent of bigs they’ve brought in and Jack will play some at the 1 with Kyrie out there, giving him some time off the ball occasionally.

@jon: Nice core of guys! Man that’s a tough one… As I mention on Calderon I want to move him up and Hill has limited upside. Since I think your core is so solid, I think I might go with the upside of Calderon and all the assists he could rack up this year.

@Bc: Thanks man! Agree on your first two keepers. With that amount of budget, I think it’s between Horford and Conley. I think with the depth of solid guards, you’ll be able to get some good points in the draft so I’d go Horford.
